The Khmer Krom community in Cambodia has expressed regrets that the Cambodian government had refused permission for them to open their own radio station in Cambodia, but allowed Vietnam, a communist country which oppresses and persecutes Khmer Krom and which bans Khmer Krom people from listening to radios and watching TVs broadcasting from Cambodia, to open the Voice of Vietnam's representative office in Phnom Penh.
Mr. Thach Setha, president of Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community, said he wants the Cambodian government to give permission to Khmer Krom to open their own radio station in Cambodia, the same as the Cambodian government giving permission to Vietnamese community in Cambodia to open their radio stations. "I regrets very much what the Cambodian government had done to the Khmer Krom people. We want the Khmer Krom's voice to be heard here (in Cambodia). If they allowed the Vietnamese to have their radio in Cambodia, they must also allow the Khmer Krom to have our own radio as well to make it fair. In Vietnam, our (Khmer Krom) people were not allowed by the Vietnamese authority to listen to radio or watch TVs from Cambodia. They have banned our rights", he said.
The Voice of Vietnam's representative office was inaugurated by the visiting Vietnamese president Mr. Nguyen Minh Triet and Cambodian officials in Phnom Pneh on Friday, 27th August.
